Despite sounding upset on Saturday, Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer said on Monday that it was a misunderstanding. He also spoke to the character of cornerbacks Terence Newman and Xavier Rhodes.

“Yeah, I talked to them all yesterday,” Zimmer said during Monday’s press conference. “We changed a couple calls later in the week. I probably wasn’t specific enough in the things I was asking them to do. The one thing about it is Xavier and Terence, these guys are as good as people as there is in the world. They’re going to do their best every single time. They come out and they work every single day, they study. They’re really good kids. I could’ve been more specific.”

We’re not sure how specific Zimmer was or wasn’t. But as he normally does, Zimmer is handling the situation the right way with the media.
